The OK Awards @ home

It’s been two years since we tore up the Hifi with our last OK Awards. We gave out some shiny pieces of metal, we listened to a couple dweebs introduce awards, we drank a bunch and most importantly we mingled indoors and within a range of 6 feet. Some of even hugged. After a year of bummers, we couldn’t wait any longer. We’ve decided to host a miniature version of our usual awards no one cares to win, this time with some work-from-home specific categories. The best part? There’s no live online event. We’ll be posting the results on social for the coming weeks so you don’t have to join a zoom call that’s too large where only two people talk and everyone just awkwardly listens to their conversation cause they’re too nervous to interrupt.

Here’s how it works: You submit in a category, send us a tiny bit of cash, and then you follow along on social media to find out if our “judges” awarded you with a tiny piece of metal that you’ll display semi-proudly next to all those well-earned Anvils.
